Think Again.
First of all, there’s no legal definition for the term “All Natural” so when I read or hear that, my skeptical side comes out.
But over the last few years, those cute little companies that popped up with “natural” products sold out while you weren’t looking. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but here’s what happens:
When a company like Clorox purchases Burt’s Bees, usually what happens is they change the formula…and they have every right to do it. They now own the product. It costs more money to produce a healthy product and they want to improve their margins. It’s their right…but they often fail to inform the customer and the customer presumes that it’s still as natural as it once was.
In fact, there have been multiple lawsuits involving several of these big manufacturers for saying a product they acquired was green when, in reality, they changed the formulation to include cheaper and often toxic chemicals so the product was no longer green.
The skeptic in me says “Do I really think a company like Clorox really believes in my health and offer me green clean products when they also produce bleach?”
It takes paying attention to where our shopping dollars go.
